What do you guys think of my first draft of the map for the bird report?

Any comments on improving it welcome.

Sean - will you need photos for this? Kev Campbell has taken a number at Tice's which I know he'd be pleased to publish - I'll speak to him.

That's exactly what I was going to suggest closer to the time.

We need the best bird photo taken at Tice's this year for the front cover, and it has to be his BN Grebe.

Also, if anyone has any bird shots, even record ones, of birds at Tice's this year, I'd be delighted to include them in the report. There's no need right now really, but at the end of the year. I can't find my shot of the Temminck's Stint on my computer! ahhhh!

Sean i still have your vido shots of Term Stint if they are of any us to you. Rich.

 

[Tri-Counties Birder]

No that's fine Rich. I have that, just the photos I'm missing.

By the way all. I am currently taking all the bird records from this thread and off Surrey Birders database. So, come the end of the year you'll (including Kev) just have to send me any important counts that you haven't put on either of these. I'm hoping there's not going to be many. I am particularly looking for records of those lesser-reported species, particularly any notable counts (e.g. I saw 5 Green Woodpecker on one day, but forgot to record it anywhere!).

Sean,

I have a selection of phonescoped record shots of the Temminck's. None of great quality but may be better than nothing. Will email them over to you shortly.

Cheers Matt. Will certainly use one if I can't find mine (which were I think a bit better (but not much!)).

I've sporadically checked this thread for a while but now I have a account here I ought to say hello. I'm assuming it was somebody from here I was talking to late on the Bank holiday Monday?

If they're of use, I can contribute photos of Little Ringed Plover, Wheateat or Blackheaded Gull.

Thanks Paul. You will of course get full credit for them.

Great session from mid morning to early afternoon Hobby Watching with up to 3 hawking over the workings. Other highlights were a juv Whinchat which I picked up briefly in the scrub/reedbed to the left viewed from the mound, an adult Yellow Legged Gull, Green Sandpiper, 2 Sparrowhawk, Kestrel, & Buzzard.

Perhaps one of you guys can knock up some notes on the Temminck's (preferably the finder?) as we have our annual records meeting on Oct 20th.

I have started a log pile by the last sleeping area - perhaps prudent to add as we go along.
